Sandeep V. Dandekar – widely known to global professional audiences as The Corporate Monk – is a seasoned independent business leader, digital infrastructure expert, published author, and motivational speaker with a career spanning more than 37 years across India, the Middle East, Africa, and the broader APAC region. In May 2026, after a distinguished tenure at NTT Data and a considered transition discussed at the highest levels, Sandeep made a deliberate and forward-looking choice: to step out of the employee phase of his career and embrace the freedom that comes with full independence – the freedom to contribute more, to more people, across more streams of the business ecosystem.
Sandeep established Megha Tantra Advisors Private Limited, of which he is the Founder Managing Director. The firm provides high-value advisory services, Active Involvement Growth Driving Tie Ups across the full circle chain of Digital Infra, data centre and Al applications and digital infrastructure, India & GCC market entry, and leadership development serving corporate boards, global investors, and technology enterprises in India and the Gulf region.
